Does anyone have a wash to remove the taint from meat of a paunch shot animal?

A friend and I were discussing this very subject a few nights ago. I held that there wouldn't be any difference in the flavor or taste of the meat since there is no transference of the gut content into the meat.I just don't see how the stomach content can get from the gut to the hams, backstraps, shoulders etc. Since I have never gut shot an animal I have no first hand experience with this so I may be all wet.I'd sure like to see others opinions on this subject.

Not to my knowledge! 30 yrs of bowhunting whitetails has taught me.
The only time the "paunch shot" effects the taste of the meat is HOW LONG AFTER THE SHOT was the animal recovered and vitals (field dressed)removed. Especially critical is if the ambiante temperature is above 50F degs.,and if the carcass has been exposed to extensive direct sunlight.
So in conclusion if the animal died and fermented for hours during a warm day in the sun (bloated &stiff)throw the carcass away!!!Other then that a little salt water wash is all that's needed.
Common sense and your nose are usually good tools unless one's suffering from starvation.

here is the problem with gut shot meat...first the animal died a bad death..it was so pumped with adrenaline the meat is going to be tainted period..not from gut vile but from adrenaline..you can drain it in a cooler with ice for a few weeks...still gonna have a funny aftertaste to it regardless....gut

Good point Kirk! One I forgot to mention> The Gut shot takes a long time to kill. Henceforth a long, long time to recover and usually by water. Long Time dead (with heat retention) alone usually taints the meat!!

Before freezing the meat a 1 to 1 Vinegar and water rinse and pat dry wouldn't hurt. This will help eliminate any bacteria on the meat.

just mark the packs and give them to all those annoying people who keep asking for deer meat and never throw any money towards your gas or equipment?
honestly though I had a paunch hit buck that I just hosed out real good and splashed some vinegar around inside the cavity and that was it and I could taste anything.
